Is it Hulu, or is it you? Test your own connection against Hulu — one verdict in 10 seconds.Hulu is responding, but slowly — 57 ms to first byte (normal is under 1500 ms). That reading is from itsnotyou's monitoring servers, 17 seconds ago.
It can be either — that's the hard part. The status on this page is measured from itsnotyou's monitoring servers, so Hulu can look healthy here while your own connection is the real problem. The itsnotyou test checks both at once and returns a single verdict in about 10 seconds.
A slow Hulu usually comes down to one of two things: Hulu's own servers are responding slowly — itsnotyou measures time to first byte, and anything over 1500 ms is flagged as slow — or your local connection is the bottleneck. Running the test tells the two apart.
Hulu is probed every few minutes, around the clock, from itsnotyou's monitoring servers. The verdict and the 24-hour response-time history on this page update automatically.
Hulu only streams inside the United States. That message is a rights restriction, not a fault — it appears whether Hulu is up or down, and a VPN usually makes it worse because Hulu blocks known VPN address ranges.
